Want to know what pisses me off?
Motors TV in Europe showed the entire 1000 Km (6 hours) of LMES: Nurburgring earlier and are showing Mosport live today as well.
LMES is the European ALMS.
I live in Canada! We don’t get Motors TV in North America! Damn!
We’d probably get to see LEMS on SpeedVision if they weren’t so focused on NASCAR, but that’s never going to change.
I’m also pissed off because this is the first ALMS / Sportscar event at Mosport that I’ve missed in 10 years. All my friends are there but I’m stuck at home (for reasons beyond my control).

It’s such a great race track.
Last year, the highlight of the weekend from my perspective was watching a pack of Star Mazda cars charging into the off camber corner 2, and all of them made it!
Don Panoz saved that track from bankruptcy in 1999. He’s sunk money into it and made it a great place to see racing and to race.
NASCAR was up there last spring giving it a look-see, but who knows what they’ll do? It’s a wide open old style road course and there isn’t a driver alive today who hasn’t loved racing on it.

MotorsTV are one of the best reasons to have a Sky subscription.

No kidding! SpeedChannel used to be really good until Fox bought it. At first it looked like they were going to heed the thousands of pleas from viewers to avoid turning it into the NASCAR channel, but as time elapsed they slowly but surely introduced more and more NASCAR / Stockcar programming which replaced much of the European content. Some of it made sense because I recall when they had airplane racing on fairly regularly, but most of the content they replaced was of the road racing variety.
They still do an excellent job covering Lemans and F1, I can compare them to ITV because I get that feed as well; and their motorcycle coverage is extensive. I just wish they didn’t force feed us so much NASCAR, but I suppose that pays the bills and is the reason why they’ve grown and are into more homes than ever.

Speed shows 1 hour highlights as filler once and a while. They’ll probably get around showing the entire season by Thanksgiving.
I manage to watch them when I can, and at least concentrating 6 hours of action into less than 1 hour makes for some exciting action!

The DVR is invaluable. You can really see a lot of non-NASCAR programming on Speed with some proper DVR setup.

That was a kick ass race. The camera work is so much better than what we put up with from F1.

FYI, I recorded a LMES race on SpeedtTV a couple weeks ago but have not had
time to watch it. Of course it was only a 1-hour show.
